DescriptionD-Lactic acid, also known as D-lactate or D-milchsaeure, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha hydroxy acids and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing a carboxylic acid substituted with a hydroxyl group on the adjacent carbon. D-Lactic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). D-Lactic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. D-Lactic acid is a potentially toxic compound.

(S)-lactate + 2 ferricytochrome c → pyruvate + 2 ferrocytochrome c + 2 H(+).
General function:
Involved in iron ion binding
Specific function:
Electron carrier protein. The oxidized form of the cytochrome c heme group can accept an electron from the heme group of the cytochrome c1 subunit of cytochrome reductase. Cytochrome c then transfers this electron to the cytochrome oxidase complex, the final protein carrier in the mitochondrial electron-transport chain
